Plein Aire in the Backyard!

Plein Aire

Sadie is trying out my chair to my art table..she would sit in my lap as a pup.
HI, I had a lovely class yesterday. It was small but we had a good time and enjoyed painting sunflowers. I did find some to paint from! I hurt my sciatica again-- or it continues-- now I have a numb foot up to my knee. My left side. I think all the carrying my supplies up the steps at the ESO (Eastern Shore's Own Art Center). The building is an old elementary school and it has so much charm but lots of concrete steps..I'm going to have to take it easy for a few days and I'm back to sitting on the heating pad!  This afternoon Sadie,Rudy--the 20yr old cat, and I went out in the backyard and I painted as Sadie pulled up roots,brought 7 foot branches out of the woods,(we were impressed), and ate as many crickets as she could find. 

I still haven't done my second painting for the ESAL Show yet. No worries.. it's due next Thursday.. ok I'm worried. Hope to work on it this weekend. What are you doing this weekend??

 Love to each of you,Diana

    Sadie must be sad not to fit in a lap anymore. She may look older, but I always think of her as a puppy, a puppy lady.

  2. Oh I do know how nasty sciatic pain can be and my heart and thoughts go out to you, Diana. Hope you feel better sooner rather than later. Other than the pain, it sounds as though you had a wonderful day though. Sadie looks adorable on your art chair!

  4. Degas is currently digging up all the plants and trees in our new garden as she tries to get the roots ;(
    Hope the pain goes soon.

  5. Diana, I do hope your sciatica eases up! There is nothing worse than a nagging, perpetual ache. As for Sadie, is she chirping like a cricket yet??? :)
